Oh, I understand that completely. There are a lot of factors that obviously are going to be considered here, so I wasn't expecting it to go to complete unknowns at any point (at least, not in the foreseeable future). PA & the examples you gave a fine enough examples of where the general direction is, and I'm fine with that. They're all titles that are recognizable by name, but aren't exactly as widely celebrated as your Evas, Madoka, or Bebops. I am hoping for only really good things from this initiative.
Obviously on that regard. If you start covering older, longer shows, however, I think Saint Seiya wouldn't be a poor choice to go with. There's lots to love about that series, but it has enough flaws in it (especially in the TV anime, mainly due to filler & slow pacing) for people to discuss about & a writer to examine & critique. It's also known to the general populace, yet not as seen by the people as other shows, though, since it only recently has become easily available via DVD & CrunchyRoll (episodes 1-73 only, but at least it's the entirety of the first major arc). |

I love the idea of Classic Reviews and Paranoia Agent is a great choice. It would be a lot of fun for me to watch my old set while following episode reviews.
I don't mind if its a show that is OOP and I've never seen it before. I can still enjoy the review and if its overall a positive one it will make me want to hunt down copies of it. As far as possibilities what about some OAV/OVAs? Some of them are short so they could fit into a tight schedule: Gunbuster - Classic and there are still legit copies floating around (plenty of bootlegs on ebay too). Gunbuster 2/Diebuster - About 6 eps. Got a re-release by Discotek and sitting between FLCL and Gurren Lagan would make for obvious comparisons. Read or Die (OAV) - Is a fun one only 3 episodes. Used copies still available, but harder to find streaming online. The regular TV show is streaming. FLAG - yea like others have mentioned it would probably be a good one too. Kino's Journey - Ditto. |

Looking forward to the reviews.
The classic reviews thing sounds like a great idea too. |

Most of the things I'd like to see are titles that would surely have gotten episodic reviews, had that been a thing five years ago.
You'd think for a 47-year-old fan, my picks would be older stuff, but I think I'm more interested in stuff that's more recent, more relevant to current fans, and more readily available to follow along with a reviewer (much as I'd love to look at Macross with modern eyes, that ADV box came and went a decade ago, and it doesn't stream, so… no). I guess if we must have something from the early 2000s, then sure, Princess Tutu or, what the hell, Koi Kaze. Hey, Hope would love reviewing that again, right? |

How about the original Jubei-Chan? It is a single cour and still a fantastic comedy.

Oh man, I haven't heard of Jubei-Chan in aaaages. I think I saw it on Anime Network on Demand, back when that was a thing.

Seriously, why not Shimoneta? Beneath the dick jokes, it has the very serious topic of sexual repression and its social consequences.

Because it didn't get voted in? Not enough people are apparently interested in the series to want to see weekly reviews.
